Chapter 3: Goodbye Tasteless Ration!
Day?: New Projects
After waking up for a new day. I still feel a little envious of my little sister, who doesn't need to eat these cardboard tasting rations made from grimm itself, but at least I don't have to worry about my little sister going hungry. I may envy her, but I still love her as my little sister, even if she makes a few rude comments at me.
This morning we decided train our body instead of training our semblance. By doing basic exercises to get better control over our body and furthermore, increase our own body's limit without the help of our semblance.
"You know, Tsurara. You didn't have to smack me with the sheath of your odachi to wake me up." I said to my little sister, with a half-heartily glare at Tsurara, who gave me an innocent smile and not bother to apologize for the way she wakes me up this morning.
"Well, that's what you get for using me as a hugging pillow. Plus, it was either the sheath or I could just shock you. You should be thanking me for having someone cute as me to wake you up in the morning." Tsurara said to me, like she talking about the weather than about finding a different way to wake me up in a painful method.
"I'm pretty sure one of these days. I won't be waking up at all with the way you wake me up. Anyway, how much further are we from Vale?" I said to my little sister, as I let out a sigh, then ask her for an update on the distance from our current to Vale.
"How should I know?! Baka-nii-san! I may have a mental map that could cover a larger radius, but that doesn't mean I could instantly know where the place is! I never been at Vale Kingdom before in the first place, and seeing it and being there in person are two different things." Tsurara scowls at me, for even thinking she actually know the distance to Vale.
"And just to let you know. The elevation is not included in my mental map. Well, without more training to cover the altitude as well, but it may shorten the radius of my mental map." Tsurara continues explaining her current limit on her mental map, as she rubs the back of her head with her right hand a little annoyed of her mental map's weakness.
"Alright, no need to bite my head off sis. So, do we just continue going straight ahead and improvise if we find something blocking our way?" I said to my little sister, who just pouted at me, then I ask her how should we get to Vale.
"Hmm~ Kinda, we are going towards Vale alright, but we collect a few objects on our way that could help me with a few projects. Like this one, which you would like, is to give rations honey flavor, once we find some tree honey. Just give me some time to add the flavor to the ration bars and we can train our semblance as we continue our travel." Tsurara answer my question while explaining a few more things we would do during our travel to Vale Kingdom.
"Alright. Should we stay an extra day here for training on our semblance or continue our travel?" I ask my little sister, who was thinking a bit more before answering.
"We can stay one more day. So I can see if I could make a portable greenhouse bag, that supply use fresh fruits while we travel." Tsurara answers my question, as she explains her reason why we should stay an extra day at this campsite.
"How are you going to do that?" I ask a little curious about what my little sister would use to make a portable greenhouse, which I find is a great idea, to be honest. 'I'm really glad my little sister is so smart, but at the same time feel the shame as an older brother who couldn't come up with an idea like that.' I thought to myself, as I'm mentally crying to myself in shame.
"Do you want honey too? I could try to make a beehive inside the portable greenhouse bag as well, and you're carrying it by the way." Tsurara didn't give me an answer instead she just asks me a question of her own, and furthermore, telling me that I will be the one carrying the portable greenhouse bag after she makes it of course.
"Tsurara..." I look at my little sister with a glare. "Alright. We are going to gather some flower and seeds so we can plant them inside the bag that made out of plant stem. Later, I will modify the seeds to grow into flower size instead a fruit tree. This way, it would just bloom like a flower, but with a fruit instead." Tsurara continues on what we should do, and answer my question on how she going to make a portable greenhouse bag itself while she at it.
"Wait, what? Plant stem? You know what. Too confusing for me. Just go do whatever you need to do and call me when you need my help. I will be practicing my semblance while I wait for you to finish." I ask my little sister, with a confused look on my face and end up giving up. "Baka-nii-san. Don't even know what a plant stem is." Tsurara mocks me at my response, as she walks towards the forest, but not that deep. Just enough to hide from my line of sight and could hear each other from a small distance.
Day?: Friend or Foe?
After a whole day of practicing our own things. Tsurara was very lucky yesterday and unlucky at the same time. The whole portable greenhouse bag was a failure. But, Tsurara was lucky enough to find a beehive nearby and carefully turn it into a portable beehive gourd, which means we have our own portable honey device. Tsurara was really happy at that moment, as her semblance: Psionic, allows her to control those bees as her minions.
Tsurara carries her own beehive gourd on the back of her waist, filled with honey bee hive, which also contain flower within the gourd to provide bees with pollen. So the gourd is pretty much made out of tree stem, where it could grow flowers inside the gourd while absorbing water from the atmosphere or just spray some water on the gourd This way the gourd would allow the bees to create honey and won't drown them.
The reason Tsurara drop the whole portable greenhouse bag idea. As the bag itself was either too small to be able to produce many fruits at once or too big that it produces too many fruits and be just a burden with weight on its own. Also, she didn't want to keep on wasting her semblance by increasing the producing speed rate. So the greenhouse bag project was dropped until she figures out a different method later in the future.
"Nii-san! Nii-san! Look at my cute little beehive! They should make enough honey for us to eat." Tsurara said to me with a big smile on her face, as she put her beehive gourd almost close to my face, where I could see countless bees inside the gourd.
I could feel sweat going down my forehead, as I notice some of the bees were flying almost close to my face. Giving a wry smile to my cute, loving little sister, who didn't actually shove the beehive gourd straight into my face. "That's good to know." I said to Tsurara, who has a grin on her face from seeing how I reacted to her beehive gourd close up.
Tsurara pulls back her beehive gourd out of my face and look down at her little honey maker. "By the way, how goes your training in your semblance?" Tsurara ask me while keeping her eyes on her bees.
"Well, I finally able to set up my Burst Stream. Giving me a way of gaining control of and stopping an extremely powerful, and unstable, Burst without causing a large amount of mental fatigue for me. So I have better control over my Melchsee's Door." I answer my little sister's question.
"That's nice, I guess. Wait, what do you mean by unstable, nii-san?" Tsurara said to me, then ask me about why I said unstable.
"Well, my Melchsee's Door is unstable because it tied to my negative emotions a little. So if I get angry or sad as an example, then I would unconscious summon multiple different sizes of a black sphere made of Burst, which is the Melchsee's Door, that would destroy everything around." I explain to my shocked little sister, who look at me with happy face after getting over her surprise state.
"That mean, I could just get you mad, whenever we get surrounded by grimm." Tsurara said to me, with a cheerful voice. "Sure, but Melchsee's Door would even attack us as well. Not just grimm alone." I said to my little sister, who look a little worry now, once she heard about Melchsee's Door would actually attack its own user.
"Oh...guess that mean we have to be careful then." Tsurara mumble mostly to herself, as she frown that her older brother's semblance could kill him if his emotional state goes to negative.
"Wait, now I think about it. Since the tent, we slept in for the past two days now. Isn't the tent itself still alive, though? Since grimm usually disappear, once they killed? We have been sleeping inside a grimm this whole time..." I ask my little sister, just I as realize something while changing the topic, to bring her out of her current thoughts.
"Kinda? I mean, it isn't even capable of thinking or moving." Tsurara answer my question while ignoring the look I have on my face since she already knew this. After all, she was the one who used her semblance to convert a living, breathing beowolf into a tent including the two duffle bags we have.
I smile a little once I saw Tsurara forgot about how my own semblance could kill me if I'm emotional unstable.
"So you ready to continue our travel to Vale Kingdom?" I ask my little sister, who gave me a smirk. "Of course, I am! And if any grimm come our way, we slaughter them!" Tsurara shouts at me, with happiness in her voice.
"By the way, what should we do with the tent? Since you know, it kinda of still alive and all." I ask my little sister on what we should do with the tent.
"I don't know. Take it with us, since it foldable tent. Of course, we are taking it with us! You know how cheap I am to 1-time using things!" Tsurara said to me with sarcasm in her voice, then shout at me for even asking me such a question.
"Okay! Sorry, I forgot, alright?" I apology to my angry little sister, who glared at me for a few more seconds, then huff. "Come on. Help me fold up our tent. We could just strap it onto your bag." Tsurara said to me, as she starts taking down the tent.
"Wait. Do grimm grow their bone armor from aging or death battle?" I ask my little sister, with a confused look on my face, as we finish taking down the tent and strap it to my grimm duffle bag.
"Both. Why are you asking me so many stupid questions? You should know these by now. We both watch RWBY together many time already." Tsurara answer my question, but ask me about why I ask such questions that many people should know the answer to them by now.
"Well, some people usual forget these thing, when they actually get sent to those world like us." I answer my little sister's question, who just shrugged at my answer. "Whatever. Time is wasting, so get a move on." Tsurara said to me.
